Pepe's Cantina, Winter Park

At Pepe's Cantina, chef Pepe and his staff put their own twist on traditional Mexican cuisine. That's not to say, though, that the menu doesn't brim with Mexican favorites. Fresh, homemade tortillas are wrapped into XXL burritos; tacos brim with authentic ingredients; and guacamole is prepared tableside, where it's tossed in a jalapeno sauce. Here are a few other menu items to consider when you visit:

• Fish tacos: they're packed with grilled or fried tilapia and topped with chipotle sauce, purple cabbage, and pico de gallo
• Chiles rellenos: poblano peppers stuffed with cheese, battered, and fried, and finished with red sauce and queso
• Mexican burger: beef or chicken burger stacked with pico de gallo, guacamole, jalapeno, and monterey jack served alongside spicy fries
